Overview

You're Just a Few Clicks (and One Course) Away From Fulfilling Your Georgia Professionalism Requirements...

Professionalism issues rarely arise from obvious misconduct. They come from everyday interactions: a frustrated client, an aggressive opposing counsel, a poorly worded email, or a judgment call in a gray area. These moments - under pressure - are where reputations are made or damaged and where many bar complaints begin.
This program is designed to satisfy your 2-hour GA Professionalism CLE requirement and give you practical tools for making high-pressure judgment calls with confidence. You'll walk away with concrete strategies to avoid common professionalism pitfalls, protect your reputation, and handle everyday challenges with greater tact and control. Register today!

  • Discover how to manage difficult client relationships.
  • Respond professionally to unprofessional opposing counsel.
  • Learn to communicate in a way that advances your client's position without escalating conflict.
  • Recognize where lines around candor and negotiations blur - and how to stay on the right side of them.
